My Name My Story is a Youth Led Social Leadership Organization that inspires Empathy and Unity in the Youth Community, while developing Leaders.

My Name My Story (MNMS) was founded by 14 year old Amit Dodani in 2011 as a simple project to share his and others stories of overcoming, in order to inspire others.Today, MNMS has grown into a recognized Youth Led Social Leadership Organization that inspires Empathy and Unity in the Youth Community, while developing Leaders.This 3 minute video tells our story.

We also know that when “teens talk to teens” they believe more, accept more, try more and do more.The purpose of a My Name My Story (MNMS) School Club is to create a student run Social Leadership Organization that involves students, faculty and the community in the spirit of“inspiring the next generation of leaders” and all actions of the club, as such, must be aligned with the philosophy of “Hope – Believe – Succeed –Inspire.” The goal is simple and clear: to increase Unity, Tolerance and Empathy in the student body and community, while developing leadership skills.In order to accomplish this, a MNMS School Club is encouraged to get their student body to do at least two MNMS Activities: one that makes a Tangible Impact, and one that makes an Intangible Impact in the community.MNMS Activities: These suggested activities Develop Leadership, Encourage Teamwork, Create an Emotional Impact and Tangible Impact. All of which are indicators of a more empathatic community.MNMS Drives: The club will coordinate with MNMS to participate in various MNMS Drives. One of the most recognized MNMS events is the MNMS Book Drive, where thousands of books have been collected and donated by MNMS School Clubs to local Children’s Hospital and underpriveledged schools. The goal is to make a significant tangible impact in our local community by being a huge part of these drives.MNMS Inspire Empathy Events: This powerful event features a young MNMS Leader speaking at a school and covering topics like friendship, unity, self-esteem, passion and finding your purpose. "When youth talk to youth, they listen!"Sharing Stories at the MNMS School Club Meetings: The club meets regularly. During these meetings along with planning the activities of the club, stories from the MNMS website are shared and discussed. These meetings will also occasionally give the club members the opportunity to interact with MNMS Leaders from other local MNMS clubs.The MNMS Live Event: One of the main annual events of the club. The school club can participate in the organization of a local MNMS Live! Event with MNMS. This live event is organized by MNMS and is designed to showcase fellow students and local “ordinary people doing extraordinary things.” In order to accomplish this live event, MNMS exposes the club members to different aspects of putting together an event: from planning, stage handling, performing, speaking, marketing, audio visual and an endless array of things that go into putting together a Live Event.

So, a MNMS School Club allows students to be involved in a unique club that has a tangible impact in society.

The Stories in our Website: Allows the student to get exposed to issues faced by their peers and their stories of overcoming. This develops empathy and tolerance within the student body.

MNMS Activities: Are designed to instill the key values of unity, tolerance and empathy. Creating a tangible and intangible impact in the community.
